Wild Palms Hotel

This Mediterranean inn is located close to the San Jose Airport. It offers bungalow-style rooms and beautiful Spanish-style courtyards. Given the ambiance and proximity to Silicon Valley high-tech firms, the rates are great. Surprisingly stylish guest rooms are bright and airy and feature walls done with a yellow patina. Intricate design details like adobe-tiled roofs, handcrafted furniture and hand-painted murals give an authentic feel to the property. Poolside cabanas and a tropically themed cocktail lounge encourage fun in the sun. The tropical landscaping and Soleil lounge feel as if they belong in sunny Spain rather than silicon Northern California.
